So apparently one of the leagues I'm in is comprised of people who I don't think know what they are doing. This one guy is trying to trade Jordy Nelson and Brandon Marshall for Antonio Brown, so in his words he can get better production by picking up another D and TE. Like most leagues we can only start 1 D and we do have a TE flex but that would be a silly thing to do in a PPR league with tons of solid receivers this year.

So of course I'm just gonna screw around and try to drive up this guy's price. I tentatively offered Brady, Evans, and Floyd/Cobb for Brown. If I lose out this guy makes his team worse probably and if I win I get Antonio Brown to go with Julio Jones and I'll laugh forever.

One of the best teams in the league has Roethlisberger... but is trading for Jameis Winston, and only is giving up Kenneth Dixon (RB-Bal). This is the first time I can remember vetoing a trade, but it will go through unless enough league members veto. Sucks since I'm in a good playoff position and it is a 25 dollar buy-in.

So far this year my approach has been basically "hands off", I only switch injured and players on bye-week. Only week I did more thinking about my Lineup I lost.
5-2 in both my leagues now, despite glaring holes in my lineup, like having only 1 real RB in Forte.

My main team probably isn't deep enough to win it all, but so far it's going nicely.

I can't believe I am, cause my RBs are Forte, Matthews and that's it. Got some backup who I can plug in for Bye-weeks so I might get a point or two.
But looking around the league, other teams aren't much better off. No one there to trade with.

Plus I was pretty screwed over, since before the season started the engine for some reason decided I didn't need all the Keepers I wanted and dropped T.Y.Hilton. Since I forgot to post my Keepers on our Message Board, I was fucked. (still pretty pissed about that, after 10 years of playing together you'd think your Co-Commish would trust you more.) A losing season would certainly have killed my interest in staying in that league.

Yeah, I think I'm going to bow out of the Winston/Dixon league after five years. I only know the commissioner and his wife (no one else in the league) - I can keep up with those two in other ways. Other members are friends of his from Florida I've never met.

Sucks when you feel like you've gotten screwed over by your league -sorry about Hilton

I think if it had happened earlier I would have dropped out immediately, but it was like 2 days before the Draft and I didn't want to leave 10 people hanging, while being pissed at 2-3 of them. Ironically it's the people I know in person from being on the same Team years ago (almost a decade now, time flies), I have no troubles with any of the others.

Baring some catastrophic Events in Week 14, I will make the Playoffs in my league.
1 Win ahead and the tie-breakers are all mine, unless one of those can make like 100 Points more than me next week. (first tie-breaker hea-to-head; 2nd is overall Fantasy Points)

Doubt I can win in the Playoffs though, since I am basically limping in on plugging in any RB who might score a point or two.

I have no idea which combi to start, 3 out of 5 possible.
Though probably won't start Crabtree against a good Chargers passing D, while he's injured.....though if the Raiders shit the bed I am doomed anyway. (Carr being my QB)

Their offense isn't very good and is even worse without DJ. That D is going to be spending a lot of time on the field. I think they could make a good streaming option depending on matchups but I don't think they're an every week start anymore.

that feeling when you have Todd Gurley go off for 36 points in the thursday night game when you are playing against your ex that you are totally on good terms with but still kind of enjoy the fact that you can beat them
